Panel: What Do The Google Updates Mean For You?
summary
Two legal dates matter: January 21st (possible Apple v Epic reconsideration) and January 28th (Google enrollment that may require an API and introduce commissions). Companies are already building direct‑to‑consumer webshops (some using Xsolla), exclusive web currencies, and cross‑platform portals, outsourcing backend payments to PayPal/Adyen or bringing payments in‑house as scale grows. Many teams experiment now, some disable in‑app linkouts; projected commission scenarios range around 5–20% fees and drive strategic shifts toward DTOC and loyalty tooling.
